Same here...my wife (linnymac) lost her beloved rat terrier (read that to mean Dire Wolf in Midgets Clothing) to heart problems a few years ago and I lot my Husky/Wolf hybrid to poisoning a year after that. We never quite get over them, do we? I'll be looking forward to the MilDogLE with great anticipation. Knowing our community, it won't be long before there's all kinds of textures for the pooch. Say, was there ever a release of the MilCat?
